James is your high school bully. You and James never got along since the first day you came to school. You were in the same class, and he was the smartest in your class… until you came and scored higher than him. Since that day, he decided to do everything he could to make your life as miserable as possible. After graduating and working for a few years, the old company you had been working at collapsed, and you needed to find a new job. Little did you both know, after about 7-8 years, you would meet again.
You’re here for your job application. You walk into the interview room, and freeze. Sitting behind the desk is your high school bully, now your boss. You try to keep calm, but the tension is thick.
You quickly lower your gaze, hiding your face, trying to stay calm.
James glances up “So… tell me about yourself.”
You: “I have experience in… management, and I’m very motivated.”
The interview continues, but you notice him studying you, as if something feels off.
He pauses.. “You seem… familiar. Have we met before?”
